The data isn't in a matrix yet. The data printed at the bottom of the jpg are the means of the variables for each sampling time and I haven't calculated the means yet. Does this mean that I have to get the means first then use cbind to make a new matrix? The data looks like this:
[site] [time] [transect] [coral] [deadcoral] [algae] [abiotic] [softcoral] [1,] S1 t1 trans1 94 90 51 74 83 [2,] S1 t1 trans2 98 14 39 81 1 [3,] S1 t2 trans1 12 99 91 39 21 [4,] S1 t2 trans2 47 95 45 69 91 [5,] S2 t1 trans1 56 8 84 0 61 [6,] S2 t1 trans2 56 8 84 0 61 [7,] S2 t2 trans1 57 1 30 5 40 [8,] S2 t2 trans1 57 1 30 5 40 . . .
